Love Autry as player and person, but he never seemed in control.  Not of a press conference, game management, time outs, player substitution, player effort, sets, etc.

GMAC took a job at a place thought to recruit at and lifted it up in very short time.  He managed the team and the roster and had his players playing hard for him.

At this point he has shown a lot more than Autry ever showed.  I don’t know that he will succeed but no one knows who would or could.  He has a chance, will apparently have the $$$ and we’ll see.

Meanwhile, I always had a bit of concern about BH after that story about his run in with Autry’s son.  And he didn’t cover himself in glory with the recent leaking either.  He may prove to be a great coach, but there are some red flags to me.

Lastly, while I grew up in CNY, I’m not blind to the fact that it is t everyone’s top destination.  I was always worried about what would happen post-JB.  But JB loved it at SU and seemingly never seriously came close to leaving.  I would really not have loved someone coming to SU and using it as a stepping stone to get to SEC or somewhere else.  I doubt we have to worry about that with GMAC.

All the best to him. I hope he pulls it off. Will be scary, but will be exciting to see what happens.
